By Friday night, Boulder had already set a record for the biggest February snowstorm in the city's history, with a foot and a half. Then another several inches fell overnight and Saturday morning.

Snow totals

Boulder: 22.7 inches

Broomfield: 19.8 inches

Jamestown: 41.4 inches

Lafayette: 14.5 inches

Longmont: 13 inches

Louisville: 20.2 inches

Nederland: 37 inches

Snow shoveling

The city of Boulder requires all residents to shovel their sidewalks within 24 hours of the last snowfall. The city uses National Weather Service information to determine when the snow stopped and includes a link on its website, bouldercolorado.gov. People who don't shovel within 24 hours can be fined. For rental properties, the ticket is sent to the owner of record. However, many leases require the renter to keep the sidewalk clear.

By Saturday morning, Boulder's official snowfall from the storm was 22.7 inches, according to meteorologist Matt Kelsch. That smashed the previous record for a February snowstorm of 16.5 inches set in 1968.

"January and February are normally our drier months, so that would be impressive for a mid-winter storm," he said.

The mountain areas in western Boulder County were among the hardest hit in the state. Nederland reported 37 inches of snow by Saturday morning, and Jamestown reported 41.4 inches. Black Hawk, in Gilpin County, reported 4 feet of snow.

Eldora Mountain Resort, above Nederland, received 31 inches of snow from the storm, but some skiers were turned away Saturday after the ski area ran out of parking space.

"This is a very unusual case for us," said Rob Linde, a spokesman for Eldora. "We got over 2 feet of snow, and it was also unusual because we were one of the only places in the state to get snow. So anyone chasing the snow came up here."

Linde said some people who had booked lessons were allowed to be dropped off, but the resort had to start turning most people away by late morning.

"There were just too many people," he said. "It is an unfortunate situation. If you anticipate it will be a great powder day, try and get up here as early as you can."

David Rodman of Denver said he arrived at the resort at around 10 a.m. only to find out there were no parking spots.

"I was really depressed, disappointed, and pissed off all rolled into one," he said.

Rodman said he thought the resort should have updated their website or put signs further down the road to warn people earlier, and added the experience has left a bad taste in his mouth.

"The only reason I would go up there again is for conditions like this, where nobody else gets snow," he said. "And I'm going to leave Denver at like 6 in the morning."

Police did later set up a roadblock in Nederland to inform people the resort had run out of parking space. Courtney Ahn and her son Philip, 11, drove up to Nederland from Denver, but when they arrived at around 11 a.m., they were told by a police officer to turn around. Ahn, a Boulder native, said she had never heard of such a situation.

"Never have I ever been turned away from Eldora, or any other ski resort," Ahn said.

Philip said it was especially frustrating because the ski area had gotten so much new snow.

"They got 31 inches, but we didn't get to ski, which is sad," he said.

Those who did get to Eldora earlier posted on Facebook saying the conditions were great, even if the crowds were larger than normal.

"Snow is great, but where did all of these people come from?" Zach Street posted.

"Quit yer crying the lot was full, did you expect them to hold a parking spot for you?" posted Chris Epp.

Police radio traffic indicated around 100 people were waiting for buses after the lifts closed at 4:30 p.m.

The heaviest snowfall hit the Front Range on Friday morning, sending city workers scrambling to get roads cleared for the morning commute. Boulder public works spokesman Mike Banuelos said the city's 19 plows -- 16 street plows and three path plows -- started Thursday night and by noon Friday had most primary routes down to pavement.

In Longmont, all 13 snow-removal trucks went on heavy rotation beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday, with their operators scheduled to work 12-hour shifts throughout the storm.

Boulder Canyon was closed for several hours Friday after a series of slide-off accidents, including two RTD buses.

The snow also forced closures throughout the Front Range, including the University of Colorado campus, Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley schools and Boulder County offices.

Victoria Bailey, a CU senior who student-teaches at a middle school in St. Vrain Valley, spent her day off Friday building a "snow empire" -- a mini village of snow forts -- near 30th Street and Iris Avenue.

She found out Thursday night that St. Vrain Valley would be closed, and CU announced Friday morning that it, too, was shutting down.

"I was pumped," she said. "This week has been ridiculously busy with after-school activities at the middle school, and I had been feeling a little sleep-deprived. I was excited to turn off my alarm and sleep in past 6:15."

Denver International Airport reported more than 600 flight cancellations since Thursday. United, Frontier and Southwest airlines all announced options on their websites for travelers to reschedule flights out of Denver through Saturday.

The weather service's winter storm warning for the urban Front Range corridor, including Boulder County, continues through 5 a.m. Saturday.

The deep snowfall prompted the Colorado Avalanche Information Center to issue an avalanche warning for the east side of the Continental Divide until noon Saturday.

"Steep slopes near and below treeline could produce small but dangerous avalanches," the warning reads. "Near and above treeline, large and potentially deadly avalanches are possible as well."
